A breakthrough in pants

"Here's the news in briefs - left-handed men need no longer worry about getting their knickers in a twist.Underpants specially made for southpaws are going on sale, to help them spend less time unnecessarily fiddling down below. The design of the left-handed trunks could save men a crucial three - yes, three seconds when stopping to spend a penny.Alas, it will cost a little more than that to get your hands on the pants - between £16 and £22. But retailers believe they will appeal to the 3 million British men thought to be left-handed. The traditional Y-front opening in pants favours right-handed men, leaving lefties to reach further down and and across at the aproriate time. [...]Rob Faucherand, head of men's accessories at Debenham's, insisted: 'In our view this is a vital step for left-handed men. Switching the opening from vertical to horizontal may sound like a small step but it's the breakthrough that many men have been waiting for.'"
